Native Shorelines

Living shorelines are an environmentally superior, competitively priced alternative to hardened bulkheads and seawalls. As a more effective and environmentally sound solution, living shorelines can improve water quality, provide fisheries habitat, increase biodiversity, and promote recreation.

Our proprietary QuickReef® Living Shoreline System is a proven coastal erosion solution using the same chemical compound as an oyster shell to instantly reduce boat and wave energy. In oyster-rich waters, our QuickReef® system does just that- quickly creates an oyster reef! The interstitial spacing created from the arrangement of QuickReef® units protects oyster spat from shorebirds and other predators, providing the ideal nursery for them to mature and flourish.

Every shoreline is unique. That’s why we employ a variety of living shoreline materials and designs to solve the specific concerns of our landowners.
